As we rapidly approach the one year anniversary of Obamacare's implementation and the horrendous launch of HealthCare.gov, a new report
from the Brookings Institution shows that Democrat candidates for
Congress aren't exactly embracing the law—in fact, most are avoiding it
entirely.
Brookings Institution
We coded candidates as supporting the Affordable Care Act if they lauded the bill or its effects. We coded candidates advocating to repeal or fully replace the Affordable Care Act (also known as “Obamacare”) as opposing it. Candidates with “Complicated Positions” included those that forwarded moderated positions (i.e. the Act needs to be fixed or simply delayed), as well as those with positions outside the scope of the question (e.g. advocating for single-payer health care). Finally, if the candidate did not mention President Obama’s health reforms they were coded as “No Information.”I think it's significantly interesting that approximately 79 percent of Republican candidates for Congress are discussing the law, as opposed to only roughly 63 percent of Democrats discussing President Obama's flagship piece of legislation.
While it's fairly obvious that many Republicans are opposed to Obamacare, I think it's more telling that a sizable chunk of Democrats are not even willing to discuss their feelings about it to avoid frightening voters. With public opinion polls showing that more than half of Americans are opposed to Obamacare, can you really blame them?
To begin...sorry about raging on about blacks! All blacks are not bad; I think Allen West is a good person and I would vote for him. This Ferguson thing kind of got under my skin, and also they lady who got beheaded. I should not judge an entire race of people because of the bad behaviour of a few bad apples. I unfortunately have a bad temper.
ReplyDeleteNow...here is what I think about this article: No matter how hard we try, certain people will vote democrat no matter what. I think we just need to understand that! They have been taught to vote one way and one way only. I know this for a fact because I deal with these people on a daily basis.
Ron Paul said the other day that he thought the US would one day separate into different sections. He may not be too far off! I think the divide is getting too great for the liberals and the conservatives to live together in peace. They need to bend just a bit, but they have a rigid spine.
I consider Obama an evil person hell bent on the destruction of our nation. I don't think the liberals can see that. With the news above we can have hope, but I know when it comes time to vote, they will go with the same old group.
Our only hope is to get more of our people out than they get out! This Ferguson thing was just to stir up the base. I can't promise perfection, but I will try to not cuss anymore and rage on about blacks.
I should treat you people with respect and act like an adult.
